Did you mention that epinephrine is released in the brain and the body and how it relates to alertness in the episode Optimize & Control Your Brain Chemistry to Improve Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast #80 and the clip The Power of Epinephrine?
Did you earlier say that the locus ceruleus released epinephrine without mentioning norepinephrine in the episode Optimize & Control Your Brain Chemistry to Improve Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast #80 and the clip The Power of Epinephrine? My question wasn't about the terms norepinephrine/noradrenaline vs adrenaline. It was whether the term adrenaline is used when talking about the brain, or if it's only called epinephrine in that context.
Isn't the statement "'Epinephrine is released within the brain from a specific area called the locus coeruleus, which helps activate alertness and excitability in neural circuits' in the episode Understand & Improve Memory Using Science-Based Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #72 referring to norepinephrine?
